5 HOME RUN STARS!! This book is different from this author normal book, that being said.....I LOVED IT!!! Lisa Renee Jones hit this one out of the park. This story had it all for me, drama, fun bantering, broken characters, friends, family and so much love. What more can you ask for a beautiful lawyer city girl and a jerky country boy that use to played professional baseball and these two clash. You should definitely 1-Click this book.....you will love it.

I have to admit that even if I like the dialogues a lot, there was still something in the supposedly hero that I didn't appreciate at all (see manhandling for example), there were also some other things but mostly that made it for me, pity, the story was pretty good all in all.

Devo ammettere che, nonostante i dialoghi fossero molto piacevoli, c'é stato qualcosa in questo libro che mi ha impedito di godermelo appieno e l'atteggiamento di quello che dovrebbe essere il maschio alfa/cowboy/stella del baseball in questione, é proprio l'atteggiamento da macho man che si é poi concretizzato in un paio di capitoli in modo per me estremamente disturbante, e quindi niente da fare....un peccato perché poi la storia non era male per niente.

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

This is a whole new sexy story! Get read for cowboy lovin’! Elizabeth @ Carolina Chic’s Read

This new series from Lisa Renee Jones is exactly what you always get from her, but with new fierce characters and a new world. I have fallen comes in love with this story! Jason and Jessica have off the charts chemistry... think Chris and Sara Level Heat!

5 Hot Texas Heat Stars!

One hot-headed cowboy, former pro baseball player, and freshly scorned lover meets no filter, balls-to-the walls divorce attorney, turned newly book author, and freshly scorned lover in the countryside of Texas. I think it's safe to say that sparks fly in The Truth About Cowboys.

I'm not one who loves a constant push/pull romance but there are exceptions I find that I tend to really enjoy. Jason and Jessica are one of those exceptions. It has a lot to do with the fact that I just really liked their characters and that push/pull they were constantly battling brought a lot of heat as a couple.

This had a great background setting on a farm in the Texas countryside with a feisty grandma, quite a few sexy cowboys, and a naked cat. This was a fun and entertaining read that I highly recommend!

While I do not usually read romance novels set on ranches, Lisa Renee Jones has me rethinking this. The Truth about Cowboys was a smart, witty, chemistry filled sexy read. Jessica is looking to leave the city behind- one with the cheating boyfriend and high pressure law firm. After she finds her boyfriend in bed with another woman she flees for the safety and security of the Flying J Ranch. Here she plans to write a survival guide for others on divorce. On her first night, in a rainstorm, she falls into Jason's arms. While he seems familiar she is not quite sure why. Jason is the ranches owner and unaware of his plotting grandmother. She wants find him a city girl with the hopes that it will jumpstart his baseball career again, bringing the city to the county. Jason is home running the ranch after his parents untimely deaths. Jason is also running from a former lover, one that changed his mind about city girls.

In The Truth About Cowboys you will find two people hurt by love. Can they find their way together to a future that is brighter than it would have been if they had run from love.

The Truth About Cowboys is well written and filled with two strong main characters and some funny and strategically placed minor characters. Together this is a must read!

Another awesome book by Lisa Renee Jones.
A hard headed ball player and a hard headed city girl go head to head in a battle of wills! Both have been hurt by someone else!
Will these two hard headed people be able to find love in each other or will their stubbornness have them going the other way?

Once bitten, twice shy..the consistent, witty banter between these two, along with the greatest grandma ever, kept me reading this LOL, never gonna do that again, hawt romance. Loved it!!😍😍😍

I'm struggling on how to rate this book. It was your typical city girl meets cowboy scenario. I've read a couple of books by Lisa Renee Jones and this wasn't quite like the previous ones I've read by her. I liked this book but I didn't love it. It had quite a few redeeming qualities overshadowed by the cliches written throughout. I loved the concept of the plot. There were some instances where I found myself asking what?! She seemed like such a strong character in the beginning but made such cliches mistakes for such a strong divorce lawyer.

Jason was a really likable character. He was a professional baseball player who suffered through some very personal issues and wants the best for his grandmother. I liked his possessive stuff. However, I still felt like he was a little cliches in certain instances as well.

There was definitely some great qualities in this book - lots of witty banter, whimsical accidents, and a meddling grandmother.

This is my first read by this author, so I honestly have nothing to go on based on her previous works. That said, this book brings together a seemingly unlikely couple. Big city divorce lawyer down on her luck. Broody cowboy giving off major 'leave me alone' vibes. And I never got the sense passed that that they really wanted to be together. There was some attraction and some fan girling, but why on earth did they want to put more effort into this?

There is some great humor and one liner zingers in here. Grandma was the star of the show in so many scenes. I'[m also kind of interested in Jason's friend. I might be tempted to read his story.

Just ok for me.

Steamy and heartfelt, The Truth About Cowboys is a fabulous page-turning read. Lisa Renee Jones has hit it out of the park with this sexy tale!! I read this book in one sitting and just absolutely loved it. So far I have not been let down by Lisa’s books yet and definitely plan to read more. Happy reading!!

A fabulous start to this series! It is sweet, funny, and all kinds of heartfelt.
Jason, former baseball star turned rancher is all kinds of hot and swoony. He has been burned in the past and is not looking to repeat it. When Jessica, a lawyer form the city, turns up on his ranch, he isn't interested in starting anything. No matter what his fiesty grandmother thinks should happen. Even if she is the most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes on, he still isn't interested.
I fell in love with these two. They clash immediately and I just knew all that back and forth is going to turn in to some serious heat. I couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. I can't wait to get the next one in this series!

“Lord help me, he might be a jerk but he’s a Wrangler commercial come to life, and I need a cold drink right now.” – Jessica

Jessica was living her best life, or so she thought. When she catches her now ex in a compromising position, she takes off from Dallas to a small cottage she found online. She needs to get away from the city and figure out her life. When her car breaks down in the middle of the night in the pouring rain, a handsome cowboy comes to save her. However, unlike in the books she’s read, this cowboy isn’t her knight in shining armor, he lectures her about not being prepared. Jason Jenks doesn’t have time for the pretty city girl he helped, who unbeknownst to him would also be staying in his grandmother’s old cottage on his ranch. As the two get spend more time together, (sometimes against their will) Jason realizes that maybe Jessica isn’t the city girl he thought she was, but when hurtful words and accusations are said can Jessica forgive Jason, or is she meant to stay a city girl?

This is my first book by Lisa Renee Jones, and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Jessica was a hilarious heroine with so much sass and snark, and Jason, is the hot cowboy we all dream about! Their back and forth was entertaining, and watching them fight their feelings kept me turning the pages to see if they could finally figure it out! Also I LOVED the secondary characters, Martha was hilarious, from baking together to drinking together she kept the humor alive every time! I need a book about Roarke now, because that man needs to have his own happily ever after! This was a quick read, and I recommend it to anyone looking for something to get lost in!

Such a fun and entertaining read. I loved the feistiness of the main characters. Jessica is recovering from a bad breakup. Jason is not looking for love. But there is undeniable chemistry between them. The grandma was a real character! Will she succeed in her matchmaking? A lovely story!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

THE TRUTH ABOUT COWBOYS by Lisa Renee Jones was a bit of a foray into a genre I do not normally read but was looking for something that was not intense and would amuse and entertain me instead of having me sit on the edge of my seat. I am happy to say I could not put this book down, not because I was on the edge of my seat but because I was relaxed and enjoying my time with Jessica and Jason.

Jessica is a divorce attorney who is burning out on the job, it is not as fulfilling as she had hoped and then there is the proverbial fiancé in bed with his secretary. Jason is the cowboy and owner of the ranch Jessica is renting a cottage on, he is also a retired professional baseball player. Though the love/hate relationship with sexual tension has been done millions of times, Ms. Jones does it with humor and that made this book more than another romance story. Also Jason’s grandmother Martha brings another dimension to the book for those Grandma’s with life to live.

A great, quick read for anyone just looking to spend some easy reading time with pleasant characters.

Can sum this review of the “Truth about Cowboys” in three words...I loved it.

First, the characters. I loved Martha, everyone needs a Martha in their lives. I would really be happy to see Martha get her chance at love! 💕 Who doesn’t love the sweet, cookie baking, matchmaker of a grandmother? I think Lisa Renee Jones needs to provide the cookie recipe in the book...I want one of those cookies!

Now our MCs. Oh Jason, with the fine ass in the wrangler jeans (Sigh 😊). That man had more luggage than Kardashian’s going on vacation. He had the world on his shoulders, had been in a craptastic relationship that left him untrusting of women/people, and was sinking in debt because of the ranch. Let me tell you, I thought Jason was a great broody, alpha male and he grew throughout the story. Maybe not as fast as I wanted but he had a lot of trust issues to resolve and I think the author did a good job building his character.

Jessica, well she was the cheese in a shit sandwich, She come home from work to find her significant other screwing his secretary in her bed. Then she tells off a client, which gets her put on administrative leave, and finally my McCheater Pants (Craig), also took her life savings. To say her life is in shambles is putting it nicely! So what does Jessica do? She rents a cabin in BFE Texas to escape.

That’s were our story gets good! There is angst, chemistry and comedy when Jessica and Jason are in the same vicinity. Throw Martha the matchmaker into the mix and you got love in the making! The story kept me entertained, the characters were strong and well developed, the romance was not an instalove situation, but you could almost feel the heat coming off the pages!

So my criteria for a good book is:
1. Great story (that’s relatively believable)
2. Strong hero, that’s not stupid
3. Strong heroine that doesn’t pull TSTL antics
4. Great secondary characters!
5. Great steamy romance

Guess what this book has it all! And it’s a standalone so no waiting on another book for answers! So if you want to save a horse and ride a cowboy (for a few hours), Jason is the perfect H for this journey! Pick this book up today and read it immediately!!! Definitely recommend!

The Truth About Cowboys is the first book in the Texas Heat series by Lisa Renee Jones. A swoon-worthy contemporary romance about a city girl vs. country boy makes this a must-read summer romance! This is the first book I have read by this author and it will not be the last. I love this book! The Truth About Cowboys has everything a good rom-com needs to make is a real page-turner. An emotional roller coaster of light heart moments, sexy off the charts chemistry, and humor. If you are a fan of steamy cowboy romance with lots of drama and a hint of humor then definitely pick this one up.

City girl vs. country boy makes this a must read! One cranky cowboy, although cranky doesn't begin to sum up how twisted Jason "The Flying J" Jenks boxers are over the arrival of Jessica the divorce attorney from Dallas, Texas. The chemistry, laughter and family moments are everything in this cowboy romance.

Clearly Jessica is out of her element in the small town of Sweetwater, Texas, but as a top divorce attorney in Dallas she's used to tackling tough cases and the cranky, cowboy Jason is just another mountain she has to tackle to enjoy her escape. Yes, she escaped, ran is more like it, from her life in the city and her fiance after she caught him cheating and called one of the firms top clients a cheating scumbag. So, it all happened on the same day and her mental status may not have been in the best state, but that isn't the total reason she's escaping to the middle of nowhere for a mini-vacation (temporary leave) from her job to finally write a book on divorce. Everything will be fine, except it really isn't. Can a person be attracted to bad luck? If so, she attracts it like flies to honey.

Jason is just trying to survive. After the death of his parents he left the big city, his career, and his dream of playing baseball to come back and run the ranch that is falling down around him. Yes, he gave up his dream, but he knew his parents dream was the ranch and he will do anything to keep their dream alive. With problems escalating what he doesn't need is the city following him to his quiet solitude in the form of a shapely woman.  Jessica is everything he left behind and he will do everything to make sure she doesn't stay.

A divorce lawyer in the middle of nowhere who wants to stay and a sexy cowboy who doesn't want to be there, but won't leave. How can these two possibly find a middle ground?

The Truth About Cowboys is delicious, full of family fun and love, lots of humor and sizzling heat!

This is a tough one for me. I didn't love it, there were parts I liked but those parts were here and there throughout the book. I loved the first part of the book with the full of sass Jessica, a divorce attorney who leaves a cheating ex behind in Dallas to get away. She has no money, no place to live and she's on enforced leave from her high profile job. She's rented a little cottage in a small town a few hours away to get herself together and write her book. She's rented it from a sweet little grandmother Martha who she's spent time with talking on the phone. She's found the perfect place.
Driving late at night she runs into a man while trying to navigate a muddy road in a rainstorm who is a complete a@@. I didn't like Jason from the moment his left boot hit the mud on that road. He was hard to like. He's an ex pro baseball player, who is technically out injured and not playing but that's not the truth. He's back home on the family ranch trying to keep things together for the woman who raised him his grandmother Martha. Yep, same Martha that rented the cottage to Jessica. That Martha neglected to tell Jason about.
Jason treats Jess like she's something he'd need to scrape off the bottom of his shoe and those are just the nice qualities. He's good to his Grandmother though.
Despite all those things, this book just wasn't for me, after the rough beginning the thing that floated me through that was Jessica's sass. Too many plot holes, too much bad attitude and not enough of many of the things that hold a book together. While others may find this entertaining, it didn't work for me.
It was a push to finish and 3 stars is being generous.

arc from NetGalley and Entangled for an honest review

This was a great book about a broody cowboy and the woman who knocks him on his ass. The pacing was right as well as the chemistry. The growth of each character was everything I could want. Grandma Martha was a hoot and the fact that our main characters were so stubborn just made things fun. Can there be a story for Roarke because he needs some love?!

I love cowboys and their alpha ones and this book had so much of it I had cowboy overload. But. What a way to go. I did not know cowboys could be this hot and sexy. Amazing story and chemistry.
